I cant seem to post in a more relevant subforum, so here goes. (I am a photopost license holder from almost ten years ago, but have been inactive on these forums for the majority of that time).

In my vbulletin memberinfo template, I typically display the user's number of photos like this:

Images: $post[photos]

That works fine most of the time.
But for some users, it shows a zero.
I am trying to figure out why.

In the "Scan Database" area of PhotoPost administration, there is a utility to "Check here to recalculate photos/posts numbers and check children."
I ran that and it did not fix the issue.

Does anyone have an idea why vbulletin $post[photos] variable wouldn't be parsing properly to show the correct number of photos 100% of the time, but works fine most times?

I also use something similar, a condition in postbit_legacy to add a link to that users gallery, but for some users, they do not have a link appearing and its not only annoying for me, but for many members of my site.

You would have to go back to whatever mod you did to show that custom link. The variable your talking about is one you most likely have coded up so I would suggest you look at whatever query you have issued to define such a variable as $post[photos] is not a regular vbulletin variable nor any variable that has anything to do with photopost.

did you find out what hack or mod you did?

Our vb4 plugins have a link to user photos but we do not use an if clause because to do so we would need to issue a query for each user against the photopost database to grab that users photo count. That is alot of extra queries.
